Topic: Copper River 15" camera bag (Read 2072 times)

Hello! This is my first post here at CR, but I've been reading these forums for awhile. All the reviews and insight here have led me to recent purchases of a Canon 7d, Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II, Sigma 17-70 C, and Tamron 70-200 VC. I also have a YongNuo YN-468 II E-TTL Speedlite. I do not plan on buying any more glass. Also, I have protective filters for all 3 lenses and an RC-6 remote.

Now, I need a high quality bag for my gear that won't embarrass me in public. I'd like to be able to carry all the above equipment with an ipad and a couple other smaller accessories like filters.

Due to being vain and possibly elitist, I've narrowed material choices to full grain leather and waxed canvas. I know leather will be heavy and I can accept that. This bag will be for trips, not shooting weddings. Just based on Internet pictures, descriptions and reviews, I really like this bag from Copper River: https://copperriverbags.com/?product=15-journeyman-camera-bag. It's full grain leather and carries a 100 year warranty. It appears very Saddleback-ish. Massdrop.com has a group-buy (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/copper-river-leather-journeyman-bag?s=copper) with about 50 requests that would bring this bag down to $154 with the leather strap and D-rings (but without camera insert) to convert into a backpack.

Does anyone have experience with this or any other Copper River bag? Also, any suggestions of other bags or accessories I may need? Thanks for your help!
